Elgin National Watch Co F11 Key needed

[Indian Steve]

I am trying to find a winding key for my Great-grandfathers Elgin F11 pocket watch. From the Elgin serial number ID site, it was made in 1883. I'm getting ready to pass it on to my nephew and thought it would be nice to find a winding key for it. I checked ebay with no luck. Does anybody on here have a key that they would sell? Thanks!

Try the website Etsy.com Steve. I typed in Elgin F11 Pocket watch key, and there are 10 or 12 pages of items to look thru. Good luck.

When I worked on clocks, I bought a lot of parts from timesavers.

You will have to measure the winding square but that will give you a good idea what number key you need.
